Reading Comprehension (38 points)芾 Passage 1薄 I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of

22、 a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren't for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?妍 Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live

23、in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; t

24、heir mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other.期 Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolate

25、d existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village,

26、it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the ne

27、arest large town.The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.蛔 What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and

28、constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life

29、 ” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitan

30、ts of the villages.芃 What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning ” to the locals as they pass by? I m keen on the idea, but you see there s my cat, Toby, I m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see hi

31、m mixing with all those hearty males down the farm?

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we trave

35、l in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.犀 Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and d

36、uring the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, pho

37、tography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.肆 No longer is the possession of information confined to a priv

38、ileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions

39、of homes.荽 Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertis

40、ing industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.犀 Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emot

46、ionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.薁 We should be able to clone the bone marrow for child
